Coronary computed tomographic angiography (cCTA) has emerged in recent years as a noninvasive modality to evaluate coronary artery disease. Many studies have revealed the excellent diagnostic accuracy of cCTA when compared with invasive coronary angiography (ICA) or intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). It is generally accepted that the functional significance of coronary artery stenosis is important to make treatment decisions; however, cCTA, ICA, and IVUS are limited in the ability to determine the physiologic significance of coronary stenosis. The FIGURE-OUT study compared the noninvasive and invasive assessment of the functional significance of intermediate coronary artery stenosis.

CHAOS or Congenital High Airway Obstruction Syndrome is a blockage of the fetuss trachea or larynx due to a number of factors including narrowing of the airway, a web-like membrane or even tracheal atresia. In the…
Background Rapid diagnosis and timely initiation of effective therapy are the major challenges in intensive care units (ICUs) despite the advances in critical care medicine. Procalcitonin (PCT) is an innovative valuable…
We report a case of surgically proven pseudoaneurysm of transplanted renal artery. The 16 yr old patient had presented with rising creatinine for last 2 months and swelling of the face for 1 month. USG revealed a well…
Objective: The cold pressor test (CPT) has been shown a potential sympathoexcitatory stimulus which increases aortic pulse wave velocity and the aortic augmentation index, suggesting that noninvasively, arterial…
Pineal region tumours are rare, even though it gives rise to diverse array of tumour. Among these, pineal parenchymal tumour of intermediate differentiation is a newly recognized entity. We have described a 56 year old…
BACKGROUND: In patients with aortic coarctation after successful aortic arch repair, it is well known that early-onset cardiovascular diseases can develop. SUMMARY: We studied the pressure waveform in patients after…
Two babys, one was 6 months old and another was 2 months old presented with a rapidly progressing melanotic neuroectodermal tumor of infancy (MNTI) in the maxilla. The tumor extended from the midline to the retromolar…
The Asklepios study started 10 years ago when 2,500 subjects were screened between 2002 and 2004. And all of the 90+ publications we have for the moment are from those cross-sectional data. This is called round 1. Since…
The aorta has limited ability to accommodate increasing body size by remodeling. The dramatic rise in pediatric obesity threatens to overwhelm this intrinsic remodeling program and lead to abnormal aortic function. As…
